very informative, I like your accent, keeps me interested in your explanations, good woodwork, your an 8 out of 10, woodworker, a cut above most DIY I have ever seen. I am a 30-year tradesman, you have had some trade experience for sure.keep up the good work. and videos.
Overkill is always better, especially for DIY people. You don't want your project to fail, over engineering is one of the ways to protect it from failing.
Hi love all your videos explaining in detail how to go about the pergola. I'm planning on using the m10 carriage bolts tp secure the beam to 6x6 posts. Can you advise what you've used to lock the m10 nut to the penny washer? I can see a lock washer but cant make out if its a spring washer?
Thanks and glad it helped. I was using galvanized split lock washer. Make sure you tighten them very firmly because wood expands and contracts a lot. Most importantly, use blocking like I did because just the carriage bolts aren't not strong enough, you do need to use blockings. Mine survived several severe wind storms without any issues. The only room for improvement I would do is drainage on the blocking, some viewers pointed out some of my blockings didn't provide enough good water drainage and I agreed. Hope that helps.
Many thanks. I've followed your instructions to the tee, and now am very proud of the pergola. Can i ask another question, I notice you use an additional 2x10 beam on only two faces of the pergola (same side you braced). I like this as it saves wood. However, what about the other two sides? Did you just brace the longer length beams?
@10:30 Congrats. You've passed the first step of the interview process for the Chippendales Star position. We will be in contact with you shortly for step 2 of the interview process. It will be on-site in Las Vegas. Thank you.
I think it would have been better to notch the bottom of the post so the weight is carried by the double joist as opposed to the screws and bolts. The screws and bolts then can simply hold the post in place. No?
Thats so beautiful. It makes me want to upgrade my deck. The issue the budget, you must spend a lot. Just the price of digging already scared me. Thanks for the vdo by the way.
Gazebo is good in many ways, it has solid roof and you are sit there even it rains, for mine... I still have to shop for the retractable shades (or DIY one). Those shades are not water proof, you cannot use them in the rain. Overall, I want to build something more unique and special, I didn't plan to buy the factory pre-build. Just FYI.. the size of my pergola is around 11 x 10.
Hey DIYable! Nice Work!! I am looking to install a Pergola for my 2nd floor deck. Just think how I would attach to post out front of house?? back side is going to be a ledger board attached to the wall of house . Any ideas on 6x6 post stability?? Thank you in advance!
@@davidnsh as far as i see it, deck posts sits and are supported on grade and attached to a piece which is not. Heaving will exerce pressure under that 6*6 which will try to lift the whole thing
Just to clarify. The 6x6 posts of the pergola are not sitting on grade, they are attached to the deck. If you see Part 1 of this series, the majority of the deck posts are Helical Piles, the guys drilled 5 to 5.5 feet down into the soil, way below the frost line (4 feet). In other words, if the deck does not heave, the pergola won't heave either. In the video, I showed you it's sitting on some gravel because I had to install them, I had to put the 80-100 lb post on the ground during installation. The loading points for the pergola are all on the carriage bolts and some other screws along with blocking. I think I had some video footage showing the pergola posts are actually not touching the ground, I actually removed some of the gravels underneath. I had to find those videos and do a follow-up if you guys are interested.
Yes, I did think about that.... base on the information on the soil condition we have, the clay is extremely hard. Pylex screw will not get passed 2 feet. Check out Part 2 of this project @2:45 and you will see what I mean. Also, for Pergola and Privacy Screen, Pylex screws is not strong enough IMO.. th-cam.com/video/uNY-BMWjAWs/w-d-xo.html
I am also building a flush beam deck approx 1.5 feet high from ground 10 x 32 ft. And to avoid 4 feet digging and frost hive I will dig 2 feet down fill 1 feet with limestone screening and put deck block on top with 4x4 post or pylex adjustable deck support. Let me know your thoughts. Deck will have a storage shed and patio. Thanks
why did you not put your 6x6 post directly over the deck screw pylons used to hold up your deck then hang your deck boards frames off of them, mite have made it easier for you and helped to carry the loads down to the ground better .
Yes, that's indeed my very original plan, but when the guys came to install the metal piles, one of the the piles hit the rock and the other one was not perfectly align the way I wanted. So I had to change my plan. The metal piles are not as accurate as concrete foundation unfortunately.
I never thought fozzy bear would be the one to teach me to do this...
LOL... Fozzy bear lol
😂😂😂😂 💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏾
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
😆🤣🤣
I clapped when the 2x10 fit perfectly in the notched 6x6. Well done!
Thanks for support!

Thank you for your nice comment!!! 8 out of 10 is such a good compliment from a 30 years tradesman. That means a lot, thank you very, sir!
Great Job! and nice tip of moving 6x6 with the dolley.
Great job....love the extra support for posting.....I do the same as it maybe overkill but the strength is amazing...
Many do not frame in this manner

Great video. Very sturdy construction.
Very Great Information! Thank You!
Great job looks professional.
Thank you! Cheers!

Thank You so much!
I love your deck and pergola!!!
Thank you! It will be very nice when it is really done.... :)

Great video, still since its under floorboards I would tar the bottom of posts and lay it on top of a piece of ice/water tar paper.
Thats so beautiful. It makes me want to upgrade my deck. The issue the budget, you must spend a lot. Just the price of digging already scared me. Thanks for the vdo by the way.
Thanks. The helical pile is expensive, the cheaper option is sonotube with concrete. Floating deck is another option too.
I have been considering the Costco 12x14 gazebo... Now, I'm rethinking it... :)
Gazebo is good in many ways, it has solid roof and you are sit there even it rains, for mine... I still have to shop for the retractable shades (or DIY one).

But why cover tour face?
I look ugly

Deck is supported below grade but the post sits on it. Wouldnt heaving affect those posts? Well done series and project by the way!
I believe the deck posts are secured below frost line, so deck should not move

I see your a subaru Crosstrek fan. Great cars.
Wow.. good eyes!!!!
10 out of 10!
Can you add a porch sqing to your pergola? Would you need to put in footings then?
Amazing video thank you for your video
Try flipping your chisel over and holding the beveled edge on the surface you want flat.
Could cut the end of those bolts with an angle grinder and cutoff wheel. Great job though
What kind of wood are you using in the video for the porch/base?
Hi how can i attach patio roof if my house has plastic sliding?
8:32 is there a way of doing this that is good for drainage?
The best way is to use the proper joist tape (DO NOT use bitumen based on Azek PVC)
Waw, great info great work! Defo thumbs up.. but seeing how complex it is or a good work can be... ill pass on making my own :)
I'm not sure how you got a robot to sound so natural!
LOL... You made my day hahaha
I was thinking the same thing
I don't understand why you did not used pylex screws for your deck footings.
Yes, I did think about that.... base on the information on the soil condition we have, the clay is extremely hard. Pylex screw will not get passed 2 feet. Check out Part 2 of this project @2:45 and you will see what I mean. Also, for Pergola and Privacy Screen, Pylex screws is not strong enough IMO..
